           By Mrs. ELLMERS:
       H.R. 4260.
       Congress has the power to enact this legislation pursuant 
     to the following:
       The authority to enact this bill is derived from, but may 
     not be limited to, Clause 1 of Section 8 of Article I of the 
     United States Constitution. Congress shall have the power to 
     provide for the general Welfare of the United States as long 
     as it is applied uniformly throughout the United States. In 
     this case, the Ryan White Program provides for the general 
     Welfare of a class of people nationwide.
